Apple's MobileMe has not been as reliable as hoped for and is specific to the Apple iPhone. Nokia is getting into the game of consumer-focused backup/synchronization by offering services through their Ovi initiative. The latest module to be added to Ovi is Sync that syncs your calendar, contacts...

The Nokia S60 Nseries and Eseries devices are incredible mobile devices, but the email client is very basic and has a rather plain look and feel to it (aka BlackBerry look).

I have to admit that the Slingbox actually resulted in me upgrading my TV setup to an HDTV with a DVR. I travel quite a bit for work and...

The latest version of RoadSync, version 3.002, was just recently released and actually has more functionality than the Nokia Mail for Exchange client with support for Exchange Server 2007. RoadSync still works with Exchange Server 2003 too, but now takes advantage of some advanced features of 2007. Some...
